UW Admissions officials see economic effects on applicant trends

Admissions officials across the University of Wisconsin system have made their decisions about who will be in next yearâ??s freshmenâ??s class.

Some UW campuses say the down economy is affecting enrollment in unexpected ways.

Pamela Harvey-Jacobs, director of Admissions at UW-Green Bay, says theyâ??re expecting about 1,000 students on campus next fall, on par with last yearâ??s enrollment numbers. But Jacobs says theyâ??re still leaving spots open specifically for students from across the Green Bay area. (8th item.)
